I am looking at buying a Class A that has never towed a vehicle. We have a 2001 Honda Accord with GVWR of 4235 lbs. What is the most economical braking system I can use for that vehicle? We will be traveling in the mountains quite a bit. Is it advisable to tow a vehicle that size without supplemental braking? Your advice is appreciated!

Check out Air Force one Braking System. It works off the towing vehicle's braking system. The small control box fits under the hood and does not take up much space. The important thing to me as old as I am, "THERE IS NO GETTING DOWN ON YOUR KNEES AND HOOKING IT UP TO YOUR BRAKE PEDAL EVERYTIME YOU HOOK UP THE DINGY." It is permanitaly installed.

That is absolutely the only system I would ever buy!

"Is it advisable to tow a vehicle that size without supplemental braking?"

That is a decision only you can make. Such systems are not required by law in many states. Where they ARE required by law, the law sometimes specifies that such systems must "be approved by the Administrator". Which ones have such approvals? Nobody seems to know! Perhaps because none of the normal testing organizations have ever, AFAIK, done any testing! Many thousands of vehicles were towed many millions of miles before these systems were ever invented, with minimal problems. There have been literally thousands of posts made in various RV forums about the issue. Search them out, read to your heart's content, then decide what is right for you.
Good luck.
